Todd no longer designs clothing, but focuses his creativity on the world of interiors. His designs are quite unique and rare. From Wikipedia: The practice of wearing clothes decorated with mother-of-pearl buttons[1] is first associated with Henry Croft(1861–1930), an orphan street sweeper who collected money for charity. At the time, London costermongers (street traders) were in the habit of wearing trousers decorated at the seams with pearl buttons that had been found by market traders. Show more
